2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[Drumblue]

He doesn't seem to fit any system we play. A very expensive luxury player who doesn't even bring any magic moments.

He doesn't understand the basics of soccer ie
Pass the ball to one of your own team.
Advance up the pitch and kick the ball into the opposing teams net.

Luxury?

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

He looks like it’s hurts to run.

Luxury?

When he plays we are effectively down to 10 men. He's like a supermarket own luxury brand. It's not quite what it says on the label.

Ten to two feet has our Alex!!

 

[Rob17896]

Because nearly every single one of his team mates said he was the most skillful at the club.

a sympathetic and loyal bunch with a sense of humour

I think he meant laxative.

My haiku:
Crab Iwobi stinks
A walking laxative, him
Dump him in a skip

I can quite believe it. The thing is, it's one thing showcasing skill in training, and something all together different in the heat of a top-flight match.

I've always been amazed how skilful even the most agricultural of professional footballers are when they are warming up. Turn the pressure of a match on, and all the ball juggling, flicks and turns disappear.

Remember how skilful Bolasie was, used to be able to get away with doing it in games at Palace because their fans were a bit Soccer AM and could put up with players being a bit crap and not really doing anything meaningful. Wouldn’t even attempt any of his mad tekkers at Goodison because Big Ste in the lower bullens would’ve ripped his head off.

He was the African McGeady, him. Always tried to take players on three times in a row before cocking up completely whatever it was he set out to do in the first place.
